45 Years Old and Finally Getting my TUMMY TUCK! Ogden, UT

So I am 6 weeks PO!!! Say whaaaaa!!!! I am starting to feel like normal again. I am able to drive, sleep on my side and roll to my other side, lift my granddaughter, and I started weight lifting workouts this week! I was a bit sore after so I am only doing 3x a week as my abs were tender but it's a start! I am also out of my compression garment all together! I do wear a long soft cami next to my skin as it is still so sensitive and that helps. If I have jeans on I tuck it in so the jeans don't rub against my scar and irritate it! Other than that I am good and gearing up for Christmas! The hubs and I had a date night over night in a hotel and went and watched Kevin Hart live! He is HILARIOUS! Love him! I did wear my garment for this due to all the laughing and I'm glad I did! Hahahah I will add some photos! Thanks girls. I will update next week or so and see how I'm adapting to the workouts! Xoxoxoox

What a turning point when you hit 4 weeks. I do feel so much better and getting back to normal. I drive and getting out on shopping and errand adventures. It does wipe me out and I need a nap sometimes but it's good to get out. I've enjoyed putting on some old clothes that were too tight due to my skin pooch and that's so exciting!!!! I love seeing my body., abs., how I've always envisioned them to be. I NEED to start working out. I have been eating crappy too! But I should be able to start next week so I will start kicking ass again! I did go today to Walmart with my Ma for some groceries and I decided to venture without my garment. I have been taking breaks at night for several hours from it and have done fine. Well..... It was HORRIBLE. I have a pulling internally on right side and it was killing me. Then I could literally feel the swelling start., so as we were checking out i crouched down to take a rest., when I went to stand I got a wicked sharp pulling and pain up my side. I literally cried on the spot! It just kicked my ass! So., my poor ma felt bad and was trying to ouch 2 carts and loading grocery bags! Now she is 78yrs young and very active but I usually do all that for her so I felt horrible. She is such an amazing woman. I love her so much. She takes such good care of me and my family. She is a giver. The godmother (aka godfather the movie) we call her. She means everything to us and her opinion and her presence in our life means the world to us all! She is just incredible. So anyway I hated watching her having to do all that for me. So I am now home with my garment on and chilling on couch WHEW! Feels good. Here are some pics of me in some of my clothes., panties., and my legging outfit today! Feels good to be FLAT!!!!

I have reached the 3 week PO mark! I am doing much better. Getting around better also. My skin is so sensitive almost like a sunburn and tight too! I also have noticed certain spots internally where it's like a pulling sensation. I compare it to when I was pregnant and my kids would move inside me. It's weird. I have been undoing my garment and taking breaks of being without it on in the evening. It's nice. I ice my belly and then get back in it! I will be glad to be done with it altogether. It can be a bit annoying. The side hooks dig in to my skin so I have feminine pads there to cushion it. Lol. My personal body armor! Hahaha. I went out and drove for the first time and dos some shopping. I was gone with my Ma for about 3 hrs. I was wicked swollen when I got home. I looked in the mirror expecting a horrendous view but my reflection wasn't bad but BOY did I feel stuffed. Like a damn leftover in the garment. I am also sleeping on my side on the couch. That is so amazing too. I can't wait to be in bed with the hubs. I will prob wait another week. Just to be safe. I wore a tight fitting dress to town also and it was so cute. No saggy protruding pooch tummy and I was HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY about that. I love being flat. I am excited to start working out. I hope I can do cardio after next week and lift weights after 6 weeks. I will ease into it. 30 minute sessions and listen to my body. I just miss it. And I NEED it. I feel weird not working out. It's been 5 weeks so far. Ugh. I'm going to be slow moving that first workout. Oh well. I will have muscle memory and soon be kicking ass. Here are a couple of pics. O will post in another week. Until then my TT sisters xoxoxoox
